From the Texas Quilt Museum:
“Gallery III will host Allison Aller: Contemporary Crazy Quilts. Her 21 works here put a new twist on the multi-fabric utilizing Crazy Quilt, which brings together seemingly disparate patchwork sections into one work of art.
“For 25 years, starting in 1974, Allie created quilts in many genres. Traditional, landscape, stained glass, and Broderie Perse quilts flew out of her sewing room,” Mangum begins.
“But after she made her first Crazy Quilt in 1999—with its wild mix of fabrics, color, embroidery, and embellishment possibilities—she never looked back, and it has been 25 years now since her quilt life changed forever. Crazy quilting affects everything she makes, even as she branches out into new passions that incorporate her old quilt loves—especially employing vintage textiles in quilts. Texture, improvisation, stitching, and combining many elements into one quilt is the crazy quilting legacy she cherishes.””
